Product description
Maison Gautier is one of the oldest producers of cognac. The family has been making eaux-de-vie since the 16th century and is famous for using barrels made from oak from the legendary Tronçais forest.
Over the following centuries, the Gautiers developed the business, and finally in 1755 they received an official document (Royal Warrant) from King Louis XV guaranteeing a license to produce cognac. In 1995, Maison Gautier became part of Marie Bizard & Roger International, whose assets were taken over by Belvedere Group in 2006. Gautier VSOP is a blend of eaux-de-vie distilled from grapes from the Petite Champagne, Fins Bois and Bons Bois districts, aged in humid warehouses on the Osme River. In 2015, this cognac won a gold medal at the International Wine & Spirits Competition.
